A. Dear Sir,
As per HIndu Adoptions and Maintenance Act, 1956, Sec 15, No adoption which has been validly made can be cancelled by the adoptive father or mother or any other person, nor can be adopted child renounce his or her status as such and return to the family of his or her birth. So, valid adoption cannot be cancelled.

Queries regarding US born citizen step child adoption
My stepdaughter is a US citizen by birth, I want to adopt her in India as I am married to her biological mother. What is the process?
Posted 3 months ago
A. Dear Client
If you want to adopt a stepchild, you must have the consent (or agreement) of both your spouse and the child's other parent (the noncustodial parent) unless that parent has abandoned the child. By giving his or her consent, the non-custodial parent gives up all rights and responsibilities, including child support.
Thanks

A. Dear Client
There are two ways you can get the adoption done;
1. By adopting the child with having an agreement between the Giving Parent and adopting parent and getting the deed authenticated by the Magistrate.
2. By requesting CARA to help you in the process of adoption and they will do all for you.

A. Until sometime back there was no law or rules to regulate the single male surrogacy to become father and hence few like Tushar Kapoor and Karan Johar have become fathers without breaking any law. But a new law is being formulated and bill has been tabled in the Parliament prohibiting this. Until the bill becomes the law you can take advantage of the same and be a father this way. For more details you can reach out to a lawyer and get proper guidance.

A. Hi,
The local registrar notified under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969 (18 of 1969) shall issue the birth certificate in favor of an adopted child on an application filed by the Specialised Adoption Agency or adoptive parents, incorporating the names of the adoptive parents as parents.

A. Hello
As per the law the child must be adopted in front of some witness for a valid adoption. if there are witnesses who says you guys adopted the child then it would be considered as a valid adoption and it doesn't matter if he was adopted without proper legal procedure. Therefore the adopted child could claim property of his adoptive parents.
Thanks.
